Floramax and Sand

Setting up a 40 Gallon Long next week, going to be fairly heavily planted with low light plants. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of floramax, and I was thinking of mixing it with sand. Should I mix or just use one or the other? If I only do one I'll probably just go sand. Any thoughts?

If you use sand only make sure its not to deep or you can get dead spots. you might even do a layer of flora base and then cap it in sand. i redid my 90 gallon and did a layer of soil and then capped it with sand. here is how it looks at around 6 weeks of growth.
